The current version saves all of the incorrectly answered questions in a list 
so the player could play a new game focusing on these questions.  However, I 
have not yet implemented a way for the user interface to use this feature 
(would not be very hard, depending on how polished I make it).

Tuxmath has a lot of cool new features "under the hood", so to speak, and I 
really need to write a comprehensive new Options screen(s) to make this 
functionality usable.  Also, reading and writing the settings to disk will 
make it possible to prepare a series of "lessons" - the file reading and 
parsing part is requiring me to learn some new and rather confusing topics 
(lex/yacc).

The math questions are now handled by completely separate code from the user 
interface, so it would be entirely possible to write a different interface.
